Abstract
A word sequence output device for outputting an eloquent synthesized speech. A text generating section (31) generates an utterance text to be used as a synthesized speech from texts, i.e., word sequences, contained therein according to behavior instruction information. An emotion check section (39) checks an emotion model value and judges from the emotion model value whether or not the robot is excited. If the robot is judged to be excited, the emotion check section (39) instructs the text generation section (31) to change the word order. The text generating section (31) changes the word order of the utterance text according to the instruction of the emotion check section (39). If the utterance text is, for example, 'Kimi-wa kireida', the word order is changed t o 'Kireida kimi-wa'. The invention can be applied to a ro bot that outputs a synthesized speech.
